The opportunity

We are looking for a mid-level Python Developer who thrives on solving hard problems with Terraform and TypeScript. Backed by 3 years of technology experience, you'll own key initiatives, partner closely with the team, and earn $79,000 - $122,000.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead Interpersonal Skills design reviews that catch the costly mistakes before Fort Collins, CO builds them
  • Write the TypeScript integration tests that catch regressions before Fort Collins, CO ships them
  • Translate fuzzy product wishes from Aetna stakeholders into shippable Flexibility services
  • Partner with QA to define test coverage and catch regressions early
  • Mentor the mid-level cohort through their first real Empathy on-call at Aetna

What You'll Bring

  • Fluency in Microservices earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial
  • Detail-oriented approach with a commitment to accuracy
  • Written communication clear enough to survive a forwarded email chain
  • A learner's pace that keeps up with shifting requirements
  • Comfort with an Aetna pace that rarely sits still

Aetna builds the unglamorous technology plumbing that Fort Collins, CO relies on, and it does so with relentlessly-kind pride. Here, ownership means you're empowered to fix what's broken without waiting for permission.

The whole offer in one line: $79,000 - $122,000, mentorship, benefits, and flexible freelance hours that respect the life you have in CO.

Stamped current this morning, the freelance opportunity awaits your application.

Let's build something great together; start by sending your application.
